About JOYRIDES RESCUE

Joyrides Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) animal rescue based in Houston, Texas (EIN 81-1602560) that rescues, medically treats, fosters and rehomes dogs and cats pulled from high‑kill shelters in the Greater Houston area and Southeast Texas. The organization operates a foster-based model (it does not run a physical shelter), runs targeted programs such as "The Senior Project" to help older animals, and regularly lists adoptable pets on national placement sites to find permanent homes, including out-of-state placements. Joyrides Rescue is funded by adoption fees, donations and volunteer support; it maintains an active web and social presence and continues to organize rescues, medical care and transport/foster placements in recent years.
